How many doses of the HPV-9 vaccine are administered if started before age 15?

3 doses
2 doses
1 dose
4 doses

The correct answer is: 2 doses

This is because the CDC recommends 2 doses of the HPV-9 vaccine for individuals who start the series before the age of 15. This has been shown to be just as effective as receiving 3 doses. Starting the series before age 15 also allows for stronger and longer-lasting protection against HPV. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect as they either require a different number of doses or pertain to a different age range.
